The Identity Reporting Module is a component of the Identity Manager Advanced Edition. Sentinel is an optional component you can add to your Identity Manager system, but Sentinel does not come with Identity Manager.

By adding auditing and reporting, you can meet compliance standards that many companies must abide by. You can create audit trails for any events you need to track, and you can generate reports to meet audit standards for your company.
